Our crisis response insurance is designed to meet these complex global challenges, providing immediate, actionable support when your operations are threatened.

We do not offer off-the-shelf solutions. We find coverage that is highly relevant and applicable to your specific business model and global footprint. Whether you are facing extortion, a product recall, reputational damage, or a sudden security deterioration, our policies are structured to trigger quickly and effectively.
Access to Specialist Responders
The core of our crisis response insurance is immediate access to world-class expertise. In the event of an incident, your policy unlocks:

FAQS
Does Crisis Response insurance cover the cost of pre-incident training, or only post-incident response?
While the primary function is post-incident financial and advisory support, many premium crisis response policies include an allowance for pre-incident risk mitigation. This can often be used to fund crisis management workshops, media training for your executives, or the development of bespoke corporate response protocols.
If a crisis is triggered by a severe cyber-attack, does this policy respond, or do we rely solely on Cyber Insurance?
This depends on how your corporate insurance portfolio is structured. Generally, a dedicated Cyber Insurance policy will take precedence for data breaches and network failures. However, if a cyber-attack causes severe, secondary physical or reputational damage (such as disabling a physical security grid leading to an extortion threat), a comprehensive Crisis Response policy may be triggered to handle the broader corporate fallout.
How does this differ from a standard Kidnap and Ransom (K&R) policy?
A K&R policy is highly specific to the peril of illegal detention and extortion. Crisis Response insurance is a broader “umbrella” policy. While it can include elements of extortion, it is primarily designed to manage a wider array of corporate emergencies, such as product contamination, sudden regulatory interventions, or severe reputational attacks.
